Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 37366-09-9, Name is Dichloro(benzene)ruthenium(II) dimer, Formula: C12H12Cl4Ru2.
The dinuclear dichloro complexes [(eta6-arene)2Ru2(mu-Cl)2Cl2] and [(eta5-C5Me5)2M2(mu-Cl)2Cl2] react with 2-(pyridine-2-yl)thiazole (pyTz) to afford the cationic complexes [(eta6-arene)Ru(pyTz)Cl]+ (arene = C6H6 1, p-iPrC6H4Me 2 or C6Me6 3) and [(eta5-C5Me5)M(pyTz)Cl]+ (M = Rh 4 or Ir 5), isolated as the chloride salts. The reaction of 2 and 3 with SnCl2 leads to the dinuclear heterometallic trichlorostannyl derivatives [(eta6-p-iPrC6H4Me)Ru(pyTz)(SnCl3)]+ (6) and [(eta6-C6Me6)Ru(pyTz)(SnCl3)]+ (7), respectively, also isolated as the chloride salts. The molecular structures of 4, 5 and 7 have been established by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of the corresponding hexafluorophosphate salts. The in vitro anticancer activities of the metal complexes on human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and A2780cisR (cisplatin-resistant), as well as their interactions with plasmid DNA and the model protein ubiquitin, have been investigated.
Balanced chemical reaction does not necessarily reveal either the individual elementary reactions by which a reaction occurs or its rate law.Formula: C12H12Cl4Ru2. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 37366-09-9
